a Democratic Move.

There is no denying the fact that the
Aberdeen one-state convention is a
democratic move conspircd in demo-
cratic headquarters in order to cap
ture a few republicans and create as
great division in republican ranks as
possible as the LaMoure Progress
and Chronicle remarks: l.. G. John
son, who is chairman of the Aberdeen
committee, was "boss' of the democrat
ic territorial committee only year ago,
and we knew him long before that, in
Illinois, as a bourbon politician and
very little else. Alex. Mckenzie and
Mai. Edwards, and their partisans, are
confreres with Johnson in this scheme,
and they will pass for politicians in
Dakota or elsewhere. The CANTON
ADVOCATE says: "In this city the
work is headed by Col. Boynton, a lead
ing democrat, and the move is intend
ed to disintegrate and break up the re-
publican party in Dakota" Col. Boyn-

he is leading democratic office holder

The case of Hawarden VS. the Cal
liope, Burlington and Northern rail-
way company was continued until
next month. Meanwhile Ed Carpen-
ter is getting matters into shape for a
move all along the line next spring.
Regarding the tax suit the Calliope
Blade remarks:
The case of Hawarden VS. the Cal
liopr, Burlington and Northern rail
way company came up for trial in the
district court at Orange City last Tues
day. This is a suit wherein Hawar-
den seeks to annul the tax voted in aid
of the above-named road. The case,
however, was continued until the next
term of court (January %, 1889, al
though the attorneys for the defense
done everything iii their power to have
the case tried at this term of court. If
there had been any hope of Hawarden
winning the suit the, case would not
have been continued. The truth OF
the matter is, both the Milwaukee and
the Northwestern are fighting the
tax, and what is more, but a short
time since the attorneys for both roads
met and agreed to work hand in hand
to defeat the tax. Hawarden well
| knows the road will be built next
spring, and knowing, too, they would
be defeated in the tax suit, they now
crawl out Of it with the faint hone OF
stealing the road if they can.

The delivery of the compiled laws
of Dakota to the territorial and
county officials has begun. 1t is not
believed, however, that the book will
come into practical use in the terri
tory, for several reasons. Firstly, it is
the practice in the several states to
have the laws carefully revised by a
committee of competent lawyers, and
then the legislature adopts or rejects
the work section by section. In this
case the work was entrusted to COM
mittee of two-one editor and one law
yer, who hastily made up a revision,
naturally putting their own construct
ion upon debatable points, and the
book is thus thrown upon the market
as the aLaws of Dakota" This little
by-play costs the territory some $780,
600, and the money is virtually thrown
away. The criticism does not apply
to the Messrs. Caldwell and Price, who
simply have performed a routine ser
vice for pay, but uron legislature g
